Chapter 19: A Godsend
Chapter 19 God-given opportunity Today's northern grasslands are no longer the world of the Huns, the current grassland overlord is the Xianbei people, Xianbei and Wuhuan are the same as the remnants of the Donghu tribe back then, after the Donghu people were scattered by the Huns, they received the rule of the Huns, so the customs and languages are almost the same, and later the Huns were defeated many times by the Han army, and suffered several major disasters, and the Xianbei people happened to have a great hero Tan Shihuai, and they drove away the Northern Huns who remained in the middle and east of the grassland after the split, Took over a lot of Xiongnu tribes, unified the Xianbei tribes, made Xianbei jump to become the new overlord of the steppe, he divided Xianbei into three large parts, namely the west, the middle, and the eastern Xianbei, each of which set up an adult to manage, of which the border with the Northern Xiongnu is the western Xianbei.
However, Tanshi Huai died of illness last year, and his son and Lian succeeded to the throne, and Lian was an unlearned, unskilled, promiscuous, after he succeeded to the throne, many of the old Tanshi Huai and side uncles and brothers did not agree with his ability, unwilling to listen to his dispatch, the situation in Xianbei was unstable, and there were faint signs of splitting.
And the Northern Xiongnu is also divided into three major forces, Shan Yu Ministry, Zuo Xian Wang Department, Right Xian Wang Department, among the three departments, the right Xian Wang is the weakest, and strong Han, Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei as neighbors, life is the worst, after turning over Xianbei often harassed the Northern Xiongnu, that is, from the territory of the Right Xian Wang, the right Xian Wang's subordinates only have less than 50,000 people who control the strings, and they are bullied.
Because the Zuo Xian Wang Department is located in the Western Regions, it is a thriving people, and there are 100,000 people who control the strings, and there has long been a tendency to overpower the Shan Yu Department, and it is deeply feared by the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu, so the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu frequently shows favor to the Right Xian Wang.
This winter, the grassland suffered from snowstorms, and the spring suffered from drought, cattle and sheep had no grass to eat, and the right Xian King did not dare to go east to Xianbei, so he had to go south to plunder the border counties of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty did not go out of the fortress to fight for decades, which also made the Huns' awe of the Han army weakened.
Unexpectedly, the first time to go south, the three-way army had two roads defeated and returned, the loss of the army, the right Xian Wang felt that the face could not pass, and if he did not loot, there was really no way to live, so he went south again to harass the border county of the Han Dynasty, as long as he laid the clouds, he could go south to Jinyang or east to Daijun and Shanggu.
From Jin Riyan's mouth, he learned that the Youxian King in the invasion of Yunzhong was pouring out of the nest and personally led an army of 30,000 to the south, and he heard that it was 30,000, instead of the 20,000 he heard before, and Lu Bu couldn't help but worry about Ding Yuan.
I haven't received news from Li Su for a long time, and I don't know how the battle situation in the clouds is progressing.
The journey was safe and sound, on this day, Lu Bu's department had already walked out of Junji Mountain and re-entered the vast Gobi, calculating the time, Gao Shun and they should also go to Juyanze.
Through these hundreds of miles of Gobi, it is Yin Mountain, and further south of Yin Mountain is Wuyuan County. was walking, suddenly, in front of the road to open the way of the Dangkou cavalry to report, found a team of Hun cavalry, about 500 horsemen, is in front of an oasis drinking horses rest, some of the Huns are wounded, and some people are dressed differently, suspected of being Hun nobles or generals, Lu Bu heard that the other party is only 500 people, so he was a little moved, and ordered to go down lightly, do not startle the snake, sneak past.
After arriving at a sand dune closer to the oasis, Lu Bu led Hu Er, Jin Riyan, Guan Hai, and Cheng Lian to climb the sand dunes to observe the enemy's situation.
Lu Bu's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw a middle-aged man wearing a golden crown among the Huns, who was slightly fat.
"Jin Il-pan, who is the man with the golden crown on his head?" Jin Riyan looked in the direction indicated by Lu Bu, and when he saw it, he was surprised: "Lord Hui, the man wearing the golden crown is the Right Xian King of the Northern Huns, but I don't know why there are only five hundred horsemen following him, and the army doesn't know where it is." Lu Bu was also surprised and delighted when he heard that the man was the Right Sage King, and he asked the squad leader of the Dangkou Cavalry, and got the exact answer, within twenty miles around, there were only this group of Huns.
Lu Bu was very satisfied with this answer, although he didn't know why the Right Xian King of the Northern Huns only ran to his side with five hundred people, but the heaven-given opportunity, how could he miss it, Lu Bu quickly made a deployment, and then looked at Jin Riyan, Jin Riyan is a smart person, seeing Lu Bu looking over, he quickly knelt down on one knee, touched his chest with one hand and swore an oath: "Immortal Heaven is above, I, Jin Riyan, swear allegiance to Lord Lu Bu, and will never go back, the sword mountain and the sea of fire are not unrelenting, even if I sacrifice my own life, there is no second word, if I violate this oath, let the poison penetrate my heart and lungs and die, After death, there shall be no eternal life. Lu Bu heard Jin Riyan swear a poisonous oath, so he smiled with satisfaction,
"Then you will charge into battle with me, prove your loyalty with military exploits, and make military exploits, and reward them with the same treatment as the soldiers of the Han army." The Dangkou cavalry still acted alone, and LΓΌ Bu led three hundred cavalry to the top of the sand dune slowly.
The sentries of the Huns also discovered the sudden appearance of the Han cavalry, and immediately shouted and sounded the alarm, and the Huns were like frightened birds, and immediately rode their war horses in a panic.
"What are they shouting?" Lu Bu asked Hu Er,
"They shouted that the Han army was catching up again, what the hell, they have run so far, and they can still catch up, do they also have Hai Dongqing?" Hu Er translated.
"What is Hai Dongqing?"
"My lord, Haidongqing is a kind of raptor on the grassland, after artificial domestication, it can help its owner hunt, but what it is best at is tracking and reconnaissance, through artificial training, it can use a simple cry, provide information obtained from reconnaissance, and can also track the traces of people and animals, much easier to use than hunting dogs, and the brain is very easy to use," Jin Riyan explained to Lu Bu.
"Oh? So easy to use? Can we raise it? β
"Don't worry, my subordinates will domesticate Haidongqing, and there is an exclusive secret, I have a pair of Haidongqing cubs at home, or the best in Haidongqing, when we return to Jiuyuan, I can serve the adult's army with a little training."
"Okay, if you succeed, you'll be credited." While speaking, the Huns had already begun to line up, and seeing that the Han army only had three hundred horsemen, King Youxian held back his anger and wanted to scatter these Han troops, but he soon regretted it.
Lu Bu raised the horse lance, and the three hundred Han troops lined up behind him, Lu Bu himself was the arrow, Guan Hai and Cheng Lian were behind him, like two iron towers guarding the left and right, Cheng Lian held the reins in one hand and held the other hand
The banner of "Sima Lu of the Great Han Army", Guan Hai held high the big sword, and behind them were the squadron leaders of three cavalry squadrons, and a Huns, but they had changed into the clothes of the Han army, and it was Jin Riyan.
Lu Bu took the lead, and the three hundred Han troops followed closely.
"The Han army is mighty!" Lu Bu shouted,
"The Han army is mighty!" The soldiers behind him responded.
"Ambition to Fall into Battle,"
"There is death and no life!" With a slogan that shook the sky, all the soldiers of the Han army felt that the blood in their bodies was surging, and their infinite courage and strength were full of their bodies.
Although the Huns on the opposite side, under the instigation of King Youxian, mustered up the courage to face the impact of the Han army head-on, many people still showed fear on their faces.
Before going south, they were invincible and looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Han people, but under the city in the clouds, at the foot of Yin Mountain, several consecutive defeats made their ancestors' fear of the Han army reappear in them again.
The 30,000 Hun army, after repeated defeats, only these 500 companions were left around them, and although the Han army on the opposite side was only 300 horsemen, they were full of murderous energy, and the deterrence to them was more than the Han army they had encountered before.
When the two armies approached fifty zhang, the Huns were ready to bend their bows and arrows, but many of them had already run out of arrows in the previous battle or simply lost their horned bows when they fled.
And Lu Bu's three hundred people all have crossbows in one color, with the help of stirrups, they can stabilize their figures, hold the reins in one hand, hold the crossbow in the other, after a wave of crossbow arrows, at least dozens of Hun cavalry fell, thirty zhang,
"Throw the gun," three hundred throwing guns, and once again greeted the Huns, this time there were more than 100 horses that fell, and then the next is the arrival of three hundred halberds, Lu Bu's horse lance is the sharpest arrow, the speed of the red rabbit horse gives it greater strength, one after another Huns fell under Lu Bu's horse lance, Lu Bu has been staring at the man wearing a golden crown, this target is still too eye-catching in the chaos of the army, and the Huns' melee ability is still too scum, the halberd against the short knife, the results can be imagined.
In an instant, Lu Bu had already chiseled through the ranks of the Huns, and killed the right Xian King, who had already noticed the figure of the silver armor and red war horse in front of the Han army.
While letting his subordinates stop him, he turned around and fled. Lu Bu didn't stop it, and when he let him run out of a hundred zhang, he took off his three-stone strong bow steadily, put on three arrows, and made a trick
"Caiyun chasing the moon", the last to come, although the three arrows set off in sequence, but in the end they pierced into the vest of the right king at the same time, but alas, the Northern Huns generation of heroes, the right king of the Xian, was shot by the Han army general Lu Bu with an arrow.
Lu Bu asked Jin Riyan to come forward to identify and confirm that it was Youxian Wang Wuyu. This time, Lu Bu did not behead him, but ordered someone to build a simple coffin and bury the right sage king.
Most of the 500 Hun cavalry were killed, a few fled, and some 180 cavalry surrendered.
